AN IMPACT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW REGULATION ON MODELS OF USING SPATIAL DATA TO PROMOTE TOURISM ASSETS OF POLAND AND ITS CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of legal regulations on the use of spatial data related to Poland's tourism assets and its cultural and natural heritage through spatial information services used as part of spatial information systems, both in the public and private sectors. The conducted considerations are to allow for the formulation of de lege lata remarks and de lege ferenda postulates regarding the existing legal basis for the functioning of the spatial information infrastructure. The proposed solutions should have a positive impact on improving the efficiency of using the data collected in this infrastructure for purposes related to the promotion of Poland's cultural and natural heritage.

It will also be important to analyze the relationship of legal instruments regulated by the Act of 4 March 2010 on spatial information infrastructure based on Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE), in relation to normative solutions proposed in Directive (EU) 2019/1024 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on open data and the re-use of public sector information. In this article, particular emphasis will be on identifying potential added values resulting from ensuring the interoperability of electronic services and data sets, as well as possible legal barriers related to the subject matter of ongoing research.

An important element of the considerations will be the description of the registers established in the Act of July 23, 2003 on the protection of monuments and the care of monuments and the Act of April 16, 2004 on the protection of nature. In this field, it is also important to assess the possibilities of their further improvement using information and communication technologies, open spatial data formats and GIS tools.
